I am perfect because I run 10 miles every morning, do not exceed 3 calories a day, and drink 6 gallons of Water daily. Oh yeah, and the lapband is just a ........................tool. baa haaa haaa haaa haa!!!.

If you believe this you are delirious from hunger.

I'm confused. It seems like you are saying that people who live by the "it's a tool" mantra are pretending to be perfect. Am I reading that right?

Not exactly..... Though there are a few that seize every opportunity to scold the poster with I-am-perfect replies while throwing in the "it's a tool" BS.....It might be a tool but I sure ain't gonna buy a non-functional hammer either, right?

( I'm not saying anything positive or negative about the band in this post....)

The hammer should work fine for you if you use it right, but if you just buy it and throw in on your work bench it probably isn't going to drive a whole lot of nails. You didn't buy the hammer thinking it would pound those nails without any effort from you did you?

I didn't say either way. Read above and you'll see this post was about the constant condescending remarks of some posters....The I-love-me or I-am-perfect toned replies to struggling bandsters. The remarks weren't made to me but they're all over this forum as of late. ....

I think Mattie was just having a moment of sarcasm that is totally not meant to offend anyone (in particular). I live by the "its a tool" mantra and have repeated it to others, and I think the post was just a little tongue and cheek, no offense taken.

LOL! No, not really. But you gotta admit the board needs a little spicing up once in awhile :)

Seriously, the same few attack posts regularly with "it's a tool" and "count calories" "eat less" "exercise more" ......when the poster surely wasn't looking to be scolded.

Okay you're right everyone. Sorry for the offense. It was just being sarcastic, really.

Admittedly, I've been quite the shit lately. I think it all started yesterday when I was driving happily through town to pick up some groceries when I saw a pick up truck so covered in mud it was barely visible, then realized it was my SON'S.

I've been in rare form since then, oh yeah full moon this week too. Did I mention he is now buried in the trunk in the attic?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
